Halifax vs Louisbourg: The Final Siege Exhibit
July 01, 2008
- November 02, 2008
On May 29, 1758, the largest fleet of ships ever to set sail from Halifax left the harbour and headed north. This British armada, comprised of 150 ships carrying over 27,000 men, was bound for the French Fortress of Louisbourg to lay siege. The campaign lasted two months before British forces achieved their first major victory of the Seven Years War, a victory that would change the world, and Halifax forever.

AGNS Exhibit: "They're Changing Guard at Halifax Citadel ..."
July 31, 2008
- January 11, 2009
"They're Changing Guard at Halifax Citadel ...a soldier's life is terribly hard" exhibit will be on display at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
Soldiers no longer march on the Grand Parade, but the daily firing of the noon-day gun at the Citadel reminds us that for over 150 years we were a garrison town. Along side the Artillery and the Engineers, almost every British infantry regiment saw service in Halifax at some point over the years: from the 1st Royal Scots in 1756 to the 104th Regiment of Foot (the New Brunswick Fencibles) in 1814, from Hopson's Regiment (which became the 29th Worcestershire) in 1749 to the Royal Engineers (the last to leave) in 1906; from Genadiers of the 40th wearing exotic mitre caps in 1749 to the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry wearing almost modern uniform in 1899.

Frost/Nixon by Peter Morgan.
When a disgraced American President and a playboy British talk show host sit down for a series of televised interviews the world is watching. But what the skilled reporter elicits is unexpected- and history is made.
From the writer of acclaimed films such as The Queen and The Last King of Scotland, comes Frost/Nixon, an engrossing tale of the pivotal 1977 discussions between Richard Nixon and David Frost. This Tony Award-winning Broadway hit masterfully recreates the events leading up to Nixon's monumental admission of remorse.
